Mouse trap is reasonably close, I'm staying at the Crown Plaza WL so it's a long walk or a short Uber away for me. Unfortunately I didn't bring any beer from Florida but it would still be nice to meet up. Saturday night can definitely be free.

Also, PM me what I owe you for the Huna and extras.

earned the coveted Triple Drain-Pour (2015) badge the other night! James & Julie wasn't a surprise- it was great at first, so i bought extra, then it went acetic after a few months and was not something that got better with age. whatever. despite being brett beers, Century Ale and Rising Tide's Bosun's Call were both oxidized as gently caress, although i guess the Century Ale could have been some similar-tasting off-flavor; Bosun's Call barely let off any pressure when i popped the cork, so that's not as much of a surprise. earning Better Luck (2015) with Golden Brett right now- phenolic, fruity, and dry as hell with a weird, spicy funk. i definitely don't love it- it's leans a shade towards plastic- but it's interesting enough that i'll keep drinking it.

I'm drinking some beer right now that my boy Vertigo sent me a while ago, a Hardywood Gingerbread Stout. Pretty good stuff if you like Christmas in a bottle. Even a year of this sitting in the back of my fridge, ignored, it's still solid as heck. Probably going to go with a Two Hearted next because great beer that you can buy on a shelf will never get old, but this was a good treat

Speaking of Allagash bretts, I just had a li'l brett that was godawful. It tasted like mushrooms and cardboard. Is it safe to assume that's not how it's supposed to taste?

Most Brett just come across as fruity to me, with a few more extreme examples being leathery (Orval, depending on age) or sweaty/cheesy (Funky Gold).

My friend is going to have her art on one of the Collective Arts Origin of Darkness series bottles. It's pretty cool, just hoping I can grab some before it disappears from my nearby shop. http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2018/11/01/collective-arts-brewing-releasing-origin-of-darkness-collaborative-barrel-aged-stout-series/ Her's is the first one, it's for the collab with Wild Beer Co., which features caramelized white miso. Also, and I don't think we've put up anything official about it, on December 9th, at Throwback Brewery (where I work) in North Hampton, NH, we'll be having Fat Alberta Day, the annual release of our peanut chocolate imperial stout. We'll have some other dark beer goodness on, too, some barrel-aged stuff I think. List hasn't been finalized yet, but there's some real good stuff down in the basement. If you live in the area or will happen to be around, stop on by! It'll be crowded, since the place fills up pretty fast with most of our events, and this on is pretty popular, but it'll be fun.

Yeah, so these mini bottles from Off Color are absolutely the best packaging idea a brewery has had since the general walk away from bombers. Cygnet is GREAT but like even the great AWAs, I prefer 8 ounces to 25.

The fact that they're such a big name in the area is the only reason I keep intermittently trying their stuff to see if there's something I'm missing.

Stopped by a Veil preview event in Norfolk over the weekend while visiting the parents, had some pretty solid hazy IPAs, but I think my favorites were the non-haze beers, the Apple Brandy Barleywine and the BA Sleeping Forever were both better than the haze I tried at the event. I think they'll make a good addition to the Norfolk area when they get there, though I hope their taproom prices are more reasonable than the event prices at 6 dollars for a 6 oz pour or 8 dollars for the 12 oz. I'm hoping they are open by my next visit. I also visited New Realm's location, which had solid, but not spectacular beers, and Commonwealth, which was good as always.

Portland + Bend trip report, aka spending Thursday-Saturday nights very drunk. Did a mini crawl around SE. Baerlic listed closing time at 10 PM, but the doors were locked as we got off a Lyft around 9:35. Can't blame em... the place was totally empty. Walked over to Beermongers where they had the lovely pFriem Japanese rice lager aka the craft version of Kirin/Asahi and it was Not much to say about Apex this time since about half of their draft list was high abv barrel aged beer. Went over to Modern Times and I like that they mostly kept the vibe of the space intact; Commons was still around on my last trip to Portland. Not shocked at how the most hyped beer I was told to try was also most underwhelming: Suggestion of Mass, the collab with JWB. Wish they'd 2oz pours a la Cascade since even 5 oz of the big hyper sugary stouts was tough to get through. 3x 5oz stouts also cost over $20! Bend: Absurd amounts of good beer here. Crux was my overall highlight and went through a lot of brewery only exclusives including a nice brut IPA. Cleaner and not as champagne forward compared to what I've tried from St. Elmo and Hops & Grain. I wish every place had Boneyard's ordering system where you can send orders in via a mobile web browser. Really liked their "craft malt liquor" called Liquid Vows clocking in at 8% and an awesome English barleywine, Wooden Femur. Personal highlight from the Ale Apothecary bottle share was mostly west coast stuff for me: Fundamental Observation, Fremont Brew 2000, Cable Car Ale. A bunch of new to me de Garde beers like The Boysenberry and The Blossom. Keep an eye on Boss Rambler Beer Club coming out of Bend. Still in their preliminary stages but already looking very promising. air- fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Nov 8, 2018 |

When I went to portland and the MT taproom, I literally heard in a huffy voice on some patrons way out "They're charging CA prices in portland"  Which was true, they were the priceiest even factoring in a day trip to de guarde.

Just curious, what are the usual pint prices for beer around the country? Prices out in CA didn't seem that out of place from FL prices so now I'm curious. At a brewery i'll expect $5 pints of run of the mill stuff, $6pints fancier pale ales, $6/10oz for mix culture stuff, and then for pastry stouts at AC you're lookin at about $5/5oz

$5-8 for a full pour (for 12 oz, pint, or 500ml). Very rarely see anything hit $1/oz here and even then it's likely not worth the price.

I had no idea that CA prices were a thing much less other cities have vastly diff price ranges. Besides state taxes and whatnot So, it varies from place to place obviously. 4oz can be $2 or $2.50. Then you got your 8oz and 10oz pours that can range from $3-$4.50. 12oz-16oz is the usual $5-$7 and if the place has a mug option they go for $8-$10 This is all generalized price ranges from the places I've been at here in San Diego and obviously higher ABV beers (imperial stouts, double ipas, barleywine, ext ext) are smaller pours and higher priced. Like $5--6 for a 4oz pour

Beer trip report. Will report back if anything defies expectation, in either direction: Beersel zwet.be from 3 fonteinen. (3 font are, as previously established, one of my favourites but I didn't know they did a porter) Dark City from Northern Monk (this year's Dark City, with Lervig, not the old one, with De Molen) Petite Sour Peach from Crooked Stave (this is unknown to me, but sounds good and is rated well on untappd) "We are Beer Edinburgh", which is something like a 4 way Collab. Tempest and Gipsy Hill worked on it, so it should be good. Bush De Noel - because the store had 3 Xmas beers and this one was 12% so why not.
